Recently, I spoke with Summer Baltzer, host of HGTV’s "Design on a Dime” and TLC’s new show "Unhinged.”

Baltzer has spent the past 10 years helping homeowners spruce up their spaces. She told me she has taped at least 100 "Design on a Dime” shows.

She will be at the Oklahoma City Home & Garden Show today and Sunday at State Fair Park, presenting workshops about how to decorate a great room and fix up a bedroom.

Her new show "Unhinged” on TLC was conceived after her parents were duped out of their hard-earned money by an unscrupulous contactor. The show aids homeowners in similar circumstances and provides up to $10,000 per family to help them remedy their particular problem.

Baltzer was inspired by design at an early age. Her mother was a seamstress and her father a contractor.
